Fifty years after the introduction of MARC, bibliographic description still has the feel of typing a catalog card, but BibFRAME promises to change the nature of cataloging. The program will explore the shifts in philosophy that may be required of front-line catalogers, and ask if we can separate the spirit of cataloging from the tools we use to catalog.
I'm a catalog who does some reference and instruction. I'm also interested in academic freedom and free speech, and public policy as it affects libraries and education.
